Hairstyles are a magical thing; they can easily transform your look and give you much confidence.

However, keeping a hairstyle is something that usually only a good hair spray can do. But have you noticed the odd chemical smells that most hair sprays today have, and the smell lingers with you becoming nauseating and sometimes even overpowering your perfume?

So, why not try the best-smelling hairsprays to get a hair spray that also has a lovely lingering scent.


Hairspray Types

Hair spray is a spray that comes in a regular spray or aerosol bottle that is formulated to protect your hair against heat and humidity and to keep your hair in the style that you have created.

Hair spray can generally do wonders for any type of hair, whether dry, oily, frizzy, straight, or curly.

Hair sprays have the ability to hold light and even more complex hairstyles in place for much longer, and they can even add some body to limp and oily hair.

There are so many types of hair sprays available that all have different functions and holds;

  • Texturizing Hair Spray – Texturizing hair spray will add some texture and volume to your hair, and is ideal for creating wavy styles or beach strands.
  • Finishing Hair Spray – Finishing hair spray can be a hold or shine hair spray that you spray on your hair after it has been styled. It can offer a light, medium, or firm hold.
  • Volumizing Hair Spray – Volumizing hairspray can have a firm or light hold, but it adds some volume to your hair strands and style.
  • Freeze Hold Hair Spray – Freeze Hold hair spray literally freezes your hairstyle into place and will keep the style. It is ideal for runway models and red-carpet events.
  • Shaping Hair Spray – Shape hair spray is a hair spray that you use while you are styling your hair rather than afterward or before.
  • Thermal Hair Spray – Thermal Hair Spray is not quite an actual hair spray but rather a nourishing and protecting spray before heat styling your hair.

Scented Hair Sprays

Hair spray can generally smell much like chemicals, and the smell may be quite overpowering.

However, there are many brands that have opted to add natural or synthetic fragrances to their hair sprays to give it a more inviting smell that will not hit you over the head with strong chemical smells.

The best-smelling hair sprays will have a light scent and still provide effective old and volume as you need from a regular hair spray.
